Dec. 19th- winter weather.

A wintry day in Fauche..cold and rainy this morning. Not quiet as cold as yesterday morning when Cory took the thermometer out in the yard and watched it drop to 62 but does not look like the sun will be coming out any time soon to warm things up.

To fragile to travel to Haiti but by picture, 2010

Yesterday my 10 minute health talk at the end of Sunday school went well. I touched on being healthy mentally [not worried, not afraid, not angry or fighting, not intentionally sinning]; knowing what medications you've been on and why; hand washing [as well as covering your mouth with your arm when you cough]; learning what you can to protect your health; and how it's our responsibility as a Christian to keep our bodies [temples of God] as healthy as possible so we can do the work the Lord has for us to do.

In the afternoon Anna helped with Kid's club while Cory and I walked down to the hospital to pray with Pastor Phillip who brought his 19 year old son in the previous night with mental agitation. While we waited outside the room the man in the next room wanted to talk so I chatted a bit and prayed with him. After a short talk and prayer with Pastor Phillip [personally we do not know his son who had many visitors that afternoon so we just prayed with Pastor] Then we swung by the cholera area and prayed for a man and child there. So thankful that with all our recent rain only two folks hospitalized with cholera.

Today we will see how much school we can get completed after our 3 days of testing. I'm assuming from past experience that the work done during these 3 days of limited supervision was done in a patchwork fashion so will have some holes to fill. No French class for the next couple of weeks but we need the time to practice!

Then time permitting we may continue to plan our week of celebrations and baking. This week the church will hold special services every night.
